Dear list, we have a dataset of mean body size (carapace length) for extant whip spiders and a dated phylogeny. We also have data on the body size of fossil taxa. In geiger::fitContinuousMCMC it's easy to include that information as a root prior. But we also have intraspecific variation of body size for extant species, to which we calculated the standard error. It's easy to include that in geiger::fitContinuous.
Question: We'd like to include both intraspecific variation and fossil body size as root prior while fitting alternative evolutionary models at once. Is there a way to do that in a single function?
